By combining a worsted weight yarn with a mohair/silk blend I ended up with a fluffy, cozy pair of mittens. I am so happy with them.

By using this smaller needle size the fabric produced is quite dense, which is perfect for keeping out the wind, and keeping your hands nice and warm.

Ravelry: My notes
Added Notes: This is a lovely quick pattern to knit. The cable design adds a nice touch of visual interest and is perfect for those new to cabling.
I love learning about designers that are new to me. It wasn't until I was writing this blog post that I realized that a bunch of designs I have admired over the years were designed by the same person...Kiyomi Bergin, a fellow Canadian. When I look at her collection I am amazed by her talent. Here are a few of my favourites: Kiyomi designed the Deep Woods Toque that was originally published in Knitscene Winter 2015 magazine and has been in my queue since then. The designer has recently re-released it. Other favourites published in Pom Pom Quarterly are Windlass, Carlu Pullover, Boum, and Fragmentation. I also really like Fredericton, which is a gorgeous his and hers shawl collared cardigan.
Kiyomi has a twin sister named Sachiko Bergin, who is also a knitwear designer, with a gorgeous collection of designs as well. Check out their website Needle Leaf Designs for further information.
Time to go cast on the Deep Woods Toque!

Those mitten are beautiful, and thank you for reminding me what a little strand of mohair carried with a main yarn can do for extra cozy mitts! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! Mohair really makes a difference...so luxurious.
DeleteThey do look as warm as toast and twice as snuggly - what a gorgeous finish!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carie...they are so soft and warm!
